Have you been told you have astigmatism?

Are constant headaches and eyestrain impacting your life?

Astigmatism is a common eye condition characterized by an irregular curvature of the cornea that causes blurry, fuzzy, or distorted vision.

While astigmatism can certainly be a nuisance, there is no reason to suffer from it. It can be easily corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or laser eye surgery.

For astigmatism treatment, contact Your Family Eye Doctors - Murrysville in Murrysville today!

Give Your Eyes the Care They Deserve

How We Can Help

normal eye and eye with astigmatism

  • Come in for an eye exam and we’ll determine what type of lens correction will offer you the clearest vision possible.
  • We’ll discuss all your treatment options so you can feel confident that you’ve chosen the best option for your visual needs and lifestyle.
  • During your follow-up visit, we’ll make sure that you’re comfortable with your new eyewear and we'll check that your new lenses are providing you with crisp, clear vision.

4 Ways to Treat Astigmatism

  • Prescription eyeglasses

    Mild to moderate levels of astigmatism can often be corrected with eyeglasses that contain a unique optical power (cylinder) to combat blurry vision caused by astigmatism.

  • Toric contact lenses

    Toric contact lenses are customized to your corneal shape and contain varying corrective powers throughout the lens. These soft contact lenses provide clear, sharp vision for people with mild to moderate astigmatism.

  • Scleral contact lenses

    Scleral contact lenses are ideal for moderate to severe astigmatism. These specialized rigid lenses are designed to arch over your irregular shaped cornea and rest on your sclera (the white part of your eye), to deliver clear vision.

  • Laser eye surgery

    If you’re looking to free yourself from eyeglasses and contact lenses, laser eye surgery offers permanent astigmatism correction. Candidacy for laser eye surgery depends on your age, and the type and severity of your astigmatism.

No matter your level of astigmatism, Your Family Eye Doctors - Murrysville in Murrysville has the perfect solution for your needs.

Dr. C saw me a few months ago on a whim. I was newer to the area and didn't have a new eye doctor y... et. I woke up on a Saturday and couldn't open my eye. Drove down the hill and stopped at the first eye doctors I saw. Walked in hopeful, and the woman at the desk said she would ask the doctor if he could squeeze me in. He did, within 30 minutes I was in and out with a script for my infected eye! Dr. C was wonderful and so kind! My entire family now goes to him. I found everyone in his office to be kind, caring and friendly! All over and excellent experience.

The s... taff, and the doctor were all so kind and nice, took care of the problem...I really feel like they went above and beyond and I will definetly be back to see them for my contacts and glasses from now on. Edit: I brought my 6 year old daughter here for her first eye exam, and they were amazing with her. She loved the glasses she picked out too.

My family has been a patient of Dr. Chris's for almost 10 years. All four of my family members have... been fitted with glasses, and three of us have been using contacts for many years. We have always been happy with our prescription. When one of my sons decided to transition to contact lenses, Dr. Chris and his staff were very patient and helpful. Dr. Chris has always answered any questions I have; a couple times when I felt concern, he returned my call in a timely manner. Highly recommended doctor and practice.

Astigmatism Diagnosis Treatment FAQs

What does astigmatism do to your eyes?

Astigmatism occurs when either the cornea or the lens inside the eye has mismatched curves, causing the eye surface to be egg-shaped rather than round.

While astigmatism causes blurry vision at all distances, it can also cause:

  • Wavy or distorted vision
  • Eye strain
  • Headaches
  • Squinting
  • Poor night vision
How do you fix astigmatism?

If you have astigmatism, corrective lenses (contacts or glasses) specifically designed for astigmatic eyes are an effective way to correct your blurry vision. They contain your optical prescription along with a specific cylinder lens power to target astigmatism and provide you with crystal clear vision. Laser surgery is another effective option to correct astigmatism.

Why has my astigmatism worsened?

About 20% of babies are born with astigmatism. In most cases, it disappears by around age 5. In others, astigmatism can become permanent and even worsen over time, generally stabilizing once the eyes reach their adult size (at around age 20).
